Conan has been getting increasingly bold each night (I "whoa"ed along with the audience last night when he joked that NBC would replace slalom flags in the Winter Olympics with breached contracts), and Letterman hasn't looked so happy to be in late night since '92.<br /><br />I hear that Conan invited Dave onto his show, actually. Can you even imagine the symphony of destruction?Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078001374402400232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494160638739613756.post-65523224569608046482010-01-14T08:52:48.107-05:002010-01-14T08:52:48.107-05:00Have you seen Conan this week?

It's almost as if the two are working together and both have never been funnier.<br /><br />Last night was especially great where Conan showed he still had control and dignity when Ricky Gervais was (hilariously so) going on and on about the mess and making every possible joke about it, and Conan, for a brief and lucid moment of seriousness, said, "You really must stop." And then the two just went on laughing about other things.David H.

I'm not the world's biggest late night fan, but I very much like Conan and Craig and all the latest stuff has been absurd.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078001374402400232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494160638739613756.post-74759538330382318192010-01-13T19:27:38.011-05:002010-01-13T19:27:38.011-05:00Brilliant piece, Jake.

I don't watch late-night TV -- hell, I'm often asleep before the end of prime-time -- but you map out the players and strategies here as adroitly as a military historian. A terrific read.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450775188328918558noreply@blogger.com
